Ovary (botany) Longitudinal section of female flower of a squash showing pistil (=ovary+style+stigma), ovules, and petals. The petals and sepals are above the ovary; such a flower is said to have an inferior ovary, or the flower is said to be epigynous. Cross section of a tulip ovary. In the flowering plants, an ovary is a part of the female ...
The parts of a flower. Double fertilization. Double fertilization or double fertilisation (see spelling differences) is a complex fertilization mechanism of angiosperms. This process involves the fusion of a female gametophyte or megagametophyte, also called the embryonic sac, with two male gametes (sperm). It begins when a pollen grain adheres ...
The gynoecium is often referred to as the "female" portion of the flower, although rather than directly producing female gametes (i.e. egg cells ), the gynoecium produces megaspores, each of which develops into a female gametophyte which then produces egg cells. The term gynoecium is also used by botanists to refer to a cluster of archegonia ...
Stigma (botany) Diagram showing the stigma-style-ovary system of the female reproductive organ of a plant. The stigma is fixed to the apex of the style, a narrow upward extension of the ovary. The stigma ( pl.: stigmas or stigmata) [1] is the receptive tip of a carpel, or of several fused carpels, in the gynoecium of a flower .
Plant reproductive morphology is the study of the physical form and structure (the morphology) of those parts of plants directly or indirectly concerned with sexual reproduction . Among all living organisms, flowers, which are the reproductive structures of angiosperms, are the most varied physically and show a correspondingly great diversity ...
The female reproductive tract includes the vagina, uterus, and fallopian tubes and is prone to infections. [1] The vagina allows for sexual intercourse and childbirth, and is connected to the uterus at the cervix. The uterus or womb accommodates the embryo, which develops into the fetus. The uterus also produces secretions, which help the ...
